will perfect you in all power and all fulnesses, from the interior of the interiors to the
exterior of the exteriors, from that Ineffable to the darkness of darknesses, so that ye
shall be called 'the fulnesses perfected in all gnoses.' Now, therefore, Mary, question
concerning what thou mayest question, and I will reveal it to thee with great joy and
great exultation."
3. It came to pass then, when Mary had heard the Saviour say these words, that she
rejoiced in exceedingly great joy and exulted, and said: "My Lord, will then the men of
the world who have received the mysteries of the Light, be superior to the emanations
of the Treasury in thy kingdom? For I have heard thee say: If I lead you into the region of
those who have received the mysteries of the Light, then will the region of the
[emanations of the] Light-land count for you as a speck of dust because of the great
distance in which it is distant from it, and because of the great light in which it is,'--that
is the Light-land is the Treasury, the region of the emanations,--will therefore then, my
Lord, the men who have received the mysteries, be superior to the Light-land and
superior to those [emanations] in the kingdom of the Light?"
CHAPTER 86
1. And Jesus answered and said unto Mary: "Finely indeed dost thou question concerning
all with precision and certainty. But hearken, Mary, that I may speak with thee about
the consummation of the æon and the ascension of the universe. It will not yet take
place; but I have said unto you: 'If I lead you into the region of the inheritances of those
who shall receive the mystery of the Light, then will the Treasury of the Light, the region
of the emanations, count for you as a speck of dust only and as the light of the sun by
day.'
2. "I have therefore said: 'This will take place at the time of the consummation [and] of the
ascension of the universe.' The twelve saviours of the Treasury and the twelve orders of
every one of them, which are the emanations of the seven Voices and of the five Trees,
they will be with me in the region of the inheritances of the Light; being kings with me in
my kingdom, and every one of them being king over his emanations, and moreover
every one of them being king according to his glory, the great according to his greatness
and the little according to his littleness.
3. "And the saviour of the emanations of the first Voice will be in the region of the souls of
those who have received the first mystery of the First Mystery in my kingdom.
4. "And the saviour of the emanations of the second Voice will be in the region of the souls
of those who have received the second mystery of the First Mystery.
